    This place is definitely going to have what you need. It will also give you a crowded, ethnic store feel. Note: the to-go food is available Fri-Sun. ( shawarma, falafel and kabob meat plates) there are some samosas and miscellaneous appetizer items available daily. Fresh bread and pastries are also available daily. The place is crowded and after a decade it is still the same layout with narrow aisles and semi order. People and workers are rude and block your path constantly. Take your blood pressure medicine before coming in.

    This was my childhood family grocery back in my Richardson days!!! We would come EVERY Sunday after Sunday school back in the late 90's. Always bustling on the weekends, it is a little treasure that is close to my heart! Don't be warded off by the weird entrance, warehouse fascade, and awkward parking lot. It's totally worth going to despite ALL of those things. I absolutely LOVE the diversity of the people that come to this place - black, white, brown, rich and poor. This store embodies every image of a warehouse - busted, stained concrete floors, padded ceiling, poorly insulated and air conditioned, fluorescent lighting, strange layout. It may come across as a bit unkempt, maybe I'm just used to it because we used to come here so much. This is my only knock. Now for the positives. The fresh, trays FULL of homemade baklava greet you at the door. The smells of bakery fresh paratas (large flatbread), olive bar, cheese bar, baked goods, etc fill the store. Over towards the front, there is a full-fledge carryout restaurant that pops out fresh pita, freshly sliced-off-the-rotating-spit gyros, kabobs AND biryani...the biryani is the best kept secret! $1.99 for a generously PACKED box of meat and perfectly seasoned rice. The gyros sandwich is only $2.99. Yes, I'm NOT kidding. The groceries consist of really fresh and cheap meats - beef, chicken, lamb, goat. The spice and dry goods aisles are equally impressive. They have lots of imported European munchies and sweets. They have products from anywhere in the Middle East, Turkey, and even South Asia. I absolutely love this place! Definitely come for a visit!

    Aisles

    To be honest, I didn't expect this place to be as good as it turned out to be, because the ratings for this place is not as good as it should be. So, despite this place being around for a long time, and being discovered by at least 30 Yelpers, my trip here felt like a search for a hidden treasure. And upon entering, i was surprised to see the dessert case. And then was further surprised to see how big this store was. And even more surprised to see a rather large hot food area. And again, surprised to see a pretty good bulk spice area, numerous olives, a large display case of ready-to-cook Persian kabobs and a lady baking fresh pita bread. And even a corner for all things Islamic and hookah/shisha/narguile related. Hidden behind the aisles, and to the left, is the produce area which I thought was just mediocre although the prices are pretty outstanding unless if it was mislabeled (i.e. 19 cents a pound for yellow onions? Really?) And then there are two additional "rooms" - to the left is the freezer area and to the right is the Halal butcher shop where you can find all things beef, chicken, lamb/goat (lamb hearts, goat tongues, etc). And then there's the aisles. The endless maze of aisles (there are signs, at least for some of them but they are so high up that you might not notice them unless if you looked up) are definitely well stocked and more organized than I thought they would be. There were simply a great assortment of everything - rice, spices, canned products, olive oils, even huge tubs of tahini. There's coffee, tea and even European products from Macedonia (some cereal brands, interestingly), Italy (panettone, anyone?), and some well regarded European candies. While this is heavily middle eastern, the Indian/ Pakistani influence is also strong as I found some ready-to-eat samosas, and patties filled with lamb, etc. If you plan to come here to eat, you won't find tables but you'll probably be happy with the prices. I haven't found such low prices anywhere else as it is definitely dirt cheap. However, unlike other Yelpers, I probably would suggest for you to skip the gyro and shawarma since the shawarma I got was a bit too crumbly and dry (tasteless meat) even though it was well seasoned. Possibly for being cooked too long even though I was there at the beginning of the lunch rush. Go instead for the kabobs since they are grilled to order. The breads here are also good. The cheese bread looked questionable but when I toasted it at home, it had a good flavor. The same goes for the za'atar bread. Pita bread is plentiful in white wheat and whole wheat although they don't serve the thin kinds that you find at Sara's nearby. Still good though. So would I return? Probably yes - and I will try some other things here to see how it compares with other joints around town. But even if the food was bad - this market is definitely the best stocked with the best variety of products of all Middle Eastern markets in DFW. It is worth coming back to. Note: Like the name implies, this is in a warehouse. And it's a super old warehouse at that, probably needing an upgrade. So do not be surprise if the roof leaks in one part of the store when it rains. Hopefully they can update the building soon, but considering the location and nearby buildings, I kind of doubt it. And while Sara's nearby may have better selection of pita bread and produce, and "looks" nicer - this store offers a whole lot more.

Cooked them medium rare, and they were a bit tough, had gristle, and the flavor was about what I would expect at Tom Thumb or Kroger. Pretty disappointed and just feel like everything is way overpriced. I could be wrong, but I expect the freshest meat possible when I go to a butcher. If the steaks had been amazing, I wouldn't have cared about the price. In the past, I have purchased a prime rib, which was good but not great. The best thing I have purchased are their pork chops. Those were excellent, and the only reason this is getting three stars.

My husband had found a couple of options in Plano, and we were actually on our way there when I decided to do a quick search. That's when I found Deep Cuts based on the amazing reviews--and we were pleasantly surprised by how close it was. As soon as you walk in, the shop is immaculately clean with a really cool look to it, and they were even playing great house music, which added to the vibe. Raul helped us and he was incredibly knowledgeable about all the cuts of meat. We were looking for certain cuts, and he walked us through everything with so much expertise. We ended up getting the tri-tip, the picanha, and the marinated skirt steak to try based on the reviews. We're definitely coming back for the pork belly, and we want to try their Italian beef sandwiches during the week too. Raul mentioned we can always call ahead to make sure they have the cuts we want, which is super helpful. We were genuinely impressed with this butcher shop. Everyone working there was friendly and welcoming from start to finish. I haven't seen a butcher shop like this since I lived in Chicago. This is officially our new go-to butcher. Five stars all the way.

Basically, whatever meats are in the window that you can see, those are the ones they have at the time. So you can't exactly order whatever you see on the menu posted above. I've searched out many taco places and eaten at plenty so I have a ton of good places to compare the tacos to. Firstly, they didn't have barbacoa so I can't say anything about that, but I was really surprised they didn't have it since it seems to be a very common thing at all the taquerias. The lengua and carnitas were ok. I also got a tripa taco and this one was actually pretty good. The salsa bar was excellent with a ton of offerings to put on your tacos. All in all, the wait time was a little longer than I expected and the food was ok in my opinion.

The phone number(s) given direct one to a general call center. While I'm sure those employed there are knowledgeable, I am more comfortable speaking with people at the actual store, who I have found to be very knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions via their personal experience. In my attempts to call at least three different stores, I get the "Third Degree" as to WHY I wish to call the store...with THIS particular store (Preston and Belt Line, Addison, TX), my reply that I preferred to speak with someone at the actual store was not sufficient, and I was told they DON'T HAVE A NUMBER! RIDICULOUS! In another situation, it took me quite some time convincing a call center rep to get the Wylie, TX location's number until I gave the reason that I was an EXCELLENT customer, but that could quickly change if I was not given the local number! It was only then that it was, grudgingly, given. Perhaps "Corporate" needs reminding that Central Market, Captain Dave's, Hirsch's Meats, etc. are just short jaunts away and I can directly speak to those at each actual location with ease. Again, no complaints with the stores, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has received the "Third Degree" treatment and I hate to think the stores will suffer for it. In a world being overtaken with AI, much can be said for "one on one" CUSTOMER SERVICE that those at corporate levels appear to have forgotten and place too far down on their list of what is truly important.

On the bright side, I get to practice mi español! They do business, that's for sure. There's a small food stand in front that smells amazing, but you need cash to pay (which I rarely carry). Huge cake & sweets section as soon as you walk in, and two different food counters trying to lure you in with samples. They're persuasive, but I love to cook and have time--so I didn't bite. But let's be real--if I had a busy schedule, I'd grab tamales over fast food any day. Pricing? Eh. Some stuff is affordable, but other things very pricey--wanted a gallon of water once and was shocked at how much it was. Just stopped by Aldi instead--two-minute drive from my house. My final thoughts: everyone here is super nice, helpful, and smiley, but in the end--this place isn't for me. Wishing them all the best!
